Both in the hotel and in Sri Lanka I liked ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!
And now in order.
The road could be called exhausting, if not for one thing, but there were so many interesting things that there was no time to get exhausted !! ! : )
Flydubai flew from Kyiv to Dubai with a three-hour wait and a transfer to a plane to Colombo. The planes were new, clean, there were no Russian-speaking staff on the way there, but it didn’t bother. Another plus, I’m going to learn English! They don’t feed, but you can buy food on board. We took with us, ordered only tea. Prices are in drachmas, the cost in terms of 1.5 dollars.
In Dubai, I looked through all my eyes, looking at the clothes, the habits of other people... The plane was delayed for an hour and I paid attention to Dutti fries.
Both flights, excluding waiting time, take 9 hours.
Having changed money at the airport of Sri Lanka, the guide put us in a minibus. The driver asked for a tip in advance)))))) We did not give.

But along the way, he showed us peacocks, herons, tea plantations, tried in general, they gave 200 rupees at the end he was glad.
We drove for 4 hours. The minibus is not comfortable.
I had read about the hotel and was ready for everything. What was my surprise that we were without surcharges and tips! settled instead of a room in a bungalow! without Russian channels). . .
The key stuck in the locker, it was repaired within 10 minutes.
The bed is cement. But don't be afraid! ) Comfortable! Thick mattress.
In the shower, some details are covered with a slight touch of rust. But there it is inevitable!
A couple of times I came across sheets with stains from coconut milk. These spots are becoming red. I can already distinguish them! )))) I didn’t manage to wash them. So be careful with coconuts! That’s why it happened with the sheets. change. On the last day, the wife of Baba's scourge washed everything for me.
Thanks Nelu!
Towels, cleaning every day. Left 100 rupees.
Food. . . for breakfast 2 types of fresh juices, I tried papaya. and watermelon, and guava with something, orange is very tasty, mix....
There are cereals and milk for lovers of such breakfasts.
There wasn’t much variety, but I don’t eat meat and seafood, who without such quirks will be even happier. : )
There are VERY spicy dishes)))))) VERY!
There are no fruits and fresh juices for dinner, but there are delicious sweets !!!
The service is very good! They didn’t leave a tip, because everyone served everyone. You don’t instruct everyone, but the guys were not offended. Very attentive.
In the evenings, singers sing in the restaurant) First, everyone, and then they come to the tables. If you don’t want to listen to them and give tips, let them know. They won’t strain.
We bought it on a Sungate tour from Join Apa. Guide Christina is a very attentive girl, she will tell and explain everything. Neither the first, nor the second, nor the third have any complaints! Everything was fine.
There is no animation. But I am amazed why is it there ?? ? There is an ocean! Excursions!

It gets dark, though, early. At seven it’s already pitch dark. After dinner, the pool, friendly gatherings with neighbors by the water, there was no more strength left.
We bought an excursion to Kandy from Christina. The guide was a local named Mangala. He speaks Russian very well, he studied in Orel.
The tour is great! I recommend it! But maybe you should go on your own or in a small company with a local guide (beach fight). We saw a lot, but we didn’t manage to do a lot.
All other mini trips were ordered from the scourge of the boy. His name is Sudesh, the beach pseudonym Baba. A very decent, helpful, positive guy! He was recommended to me based on reviews about the hotel. for children. (095-359-71-15Marina) I can give him his phone number.
He speaks some Russian. He will recommend shops with the best prices, tuk-tukers, a restaurant. . .
They were even at his house, drank seagulls. They live poorly : (
Therefore, all services cost a penny.
I fell in love with Sri Lanka completely and irrevocably!
The review turned out to be enthusiastic, although there are nuances in everything. We were lucky all the way.
Beautiful painted temples, exotic plants and fruits.
Ocean, jungle, waterfalls, flowers, butterflies.... PARADISE!!!
Simply heaven!
I cried, I didn't want to leave!
They took 9 days, 2 days falls on the road. Take at least 10-14 days.
Be careful! Choose guides and tuk-tukers according to reviews! Among them there are not quite decent people, like everywhere else. Watch for hand hygiene! Buy bottled water. Keep money on yourself! In body pockets. Pay for all services at the end!
Take a fotik, a smile and a good mood with you and you will like everything very much!
Have a nice rest!
